Quick trick: every hour that you spend in front of a computer make sure to send out one email. If you're a writer, send a blog post to someone to edit or publish it. If you're a entrepreneur, send out a sales inquiry. If you're a engineer, send out a message to someone you want to collab with.
Have the outside world be your forcing function for productivity. If you send out one cold email 20% might lead to a good exchange, 5% to something that goes forward. But that's still an opportunity every three days.
- altairiumblue 8y agoFor writers and engineers increased productivity will come from the exact opposite advice - allocate some time for email and isolate yourself as much as you can for the rest of the day.

- curo 8y agoEvery hour you're at the computer, click "publish" or reach out to push your piece, or email someone to ask to guest post. Any outward action that has you reach out in some way.
